Kiara Advani: I am excited and nervous about working with Shankar sir – Times of India

Among the current crop of leading ladies in Bollywood, Kiara Advani is one of the busiest. With Shershaah playing on Amazon Prime Video, the actress has swiftly moved on to the last schedule of Bhool Bhulaiyya 2 with Kartik Aaryan. Soon after that, she’s expected to join Varun Dhawan, Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor on the set of Jug Jugg Jeeyo. However, the film she’s anxiously looking forward to is Shankar’s next, a trilingual starring Ram Charan. Her entry into the project was recently announced with fanfare.

“I am really looking forward to working with Shankar sir. I have watched Shankar’s films and he is incredible. I am excited to work with him. It’s my first pan- India project. It’s the first time I’m working with Shankar sir. I am excited and nervous to work with him. I am preparing to give my best and I hope the effort translates into something we both cherish,” says Kiara.

The actress has worked in two films down South – Bharat Ane Nenu and Vinaya Vidheya Rama. Both films were in Telugu and worked well with the audience. Talking about why she feels nervous about working with Shankar, Kiara says, “There has been a gap between my last film in Telugu and this one. I’ve had constant fan mail requesting me to take up a movie in the South. I was waiting for the right project to go back there because I also wanted to give the audience something worth the wait. I am nervous and anxious before every film. The little butterflies in the stomach before the shoot are always good; they make sure you go well-prepared. The pre-filming jitters bring out the best in me.”
